Description
This scene is continuation of the story started with my previous picture "Striders in the Sun" - Striders are considered by ET069 Planet indigenous civilization as sacred animals and festivities take place during yearly migration of striders. Striders occupy this special place in ET069 civilization culture probably due to its very important role in development of indigenous civilization. Huge cocoons produced by striders larvae are composed of a kind of polymer like plastic. Since antiquity, this material was used by natives to produce their tools and even as construction material.
ABOUT THE SCENE :
Scene made with Vue 5 Infinite - Most of modeling was done in Cinema 4D, Aliens were assembled in Poser from various pieces - among them excellent eazy pose tentacle by Ajax. The rest is Vue - plantation was done using Vue plant editor and ecosystems - ecosystem was used also for rocks, and aliens & striders herds. All texturing done from scratch in Vue, mainly procedural textures were used. I used radiosity lighting model with one main sun light and one additional sun light to simulate sun glow lighting. Two additional directional lights - one for Aliens, one for Striders. Rendered with Vue 5. Check more about fabulous Vue 5 software on e-on software website

No one does terrain like you. No one does creatures like you. No one does architecture and gadgets like you. While I'm fascinated with the theme and characters, I'm really drawn to the bottom part of the image (landscape wise). It's so beautifully detailed that it lends even more credibility to the fancy daydreams beyond...
Gosh, your work just leaves me blown away.
what a wacky scene. once again, beautifully done
reminds me allot of starwars next episode speilburg should hire you ( my next door nieghbor is the head secretary for dreamworks i am going to show her this!!) god your good!!
This is one of the best alien scenes I have seen yet. Were you inspired by Star Wars? The buildings in the background are very unique, as are the animals.
Remarkable composition! Fantastic painting! The beautiful image! An excellent picture!
Swietna robota ! Sczegolne wrazenie robia te dwa stworki po lewej - niesamowite!
One of the best!
Beautuifuly done ! Once again unusual alien creatures ! Bravo!
Fabulous use of ecosystems! Striders look fine too! Excellent work! Just one issue, those bugs look like insects, and insects have no lungs to blow through a trumpet ;-) But maybe those alien insects has some lungs ;-)
Another masterpiece with those critters ! Spectacular!
Brillant idea! one of the best of your compositions!
Brilliant scene and work. Remind me a little, the genius of Salvador Dal! Incredible!!
Love it! Beautiful & Imaginative.
Amazing scene!!!!
Again outstanding!!!
Wonderful crazy !
